Yuh. 188 visual intelligence, 160 emotional aptitude, 150 wisdom aptitude, and then gotta convey the grand ideas through the aperture of 90 verbal intelligence, and 70 social aptitude, 70 interpersonal aptitude. Perpetual exasperated sigh on standby.

... and contributes to burnout.
^ I add, currently listening to Orion Kelly have a spot-on rant about burnout.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRbnXNBuyag Does contribute to the "playing on hard". Toughness required and generated. For and via.

Wait, is not being able to verbalize thoughts an autism thing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don't have a medical background, but my suspicion is the process of formulating a thought, deciding what meaning you want to convey, and then settling on what words accomplish that is far more complicated and delicate than we give it credit for. I suspect any sort of issue can wreck the whole process, which might explain why really good communicators are so rare.

For myself, ADHD medication really helps slow my brain down and thinking things through before opening my mouth. Turns out that's an important part in (properly) verbalizing thoughts.
